Do we have a board and card games thread? I'm really into them and was wanting a place to review and discuss some of the hot, new games out there.

You don't make rows. You need to build a cake.

Zag · Tired of his old title

Are you saying there is really a game to play there? I couldn't get it to do anything more than have the one piece keep falling from top to bottom and then popping back to the top. There were never any other pieces or anything interesting to do.

You really need to think outside the box, Zag.

And play portal, obviously.

Kingdom of Loathing
A web-page based RPG. Limited daily actions. Lots of humor.

If you haven't played it yet, you should. If you have, but stopped, pick it up again. They've been improving it lately. LOTS to do, lots of variety.

so um, the hardest effing game ever. I can't even get past the title screen. (z jumps, btw.) Super Ear Man Bros. (SUPER耳男BROS)
http://mogera.jp/gameplay?gid=gm0000000086
Walkthrough here, should you need it... http://vimeo.com/4148351. Also worth just looking at to see just how much coordination it takes to get through the damn thing. Even knowing exactly what to do doesn't seem to make it any easier. :-/

Zag · Tired of his old title

You link doesn't seem to work for me. this does, however: (It looks identical -- shrug) http://mogera.jp/gameplay?gid=gm0000000086

Death Mage · Raving Lunatic

Passed the title screen, on the first stage I got past the cat to the first set of moving platforms. I could go further given enough time, but I have other things to do right now.

The semi-Minesweeper game that wasn't linked properly in VSP made me wonder if this had been posted here.

Mamono Sweeper

It's basically Minesweeper in reverse. Which makes it slightly easier but it requires slightly different logic patterns.

A fun puzzle game. There were a couple which had me scratching my head for a while, but I did finish it. I spent about an hour altogether on it, and was disappointed when there were no more.

Zag · Tired of his old title

I thought this was fun. There are a couple where timing is important, but generally, once you've figured out the trick, it isn't very hard to get the timing right.

Interesting use of different skills, and denying you them occasionally.

Planning and timing -- more planning, though. I liked it, especially when I beat a level that I had thought impossible for a while.

Much like many similar games, but fun nonetheless. I was able to get a star on every level but 13. I'm convinced that 13 is possible by shooting directly for the bouncy thing through the gap, but it's too much getting lucky with the timing. (I've had it go both over and short of the target with that approach, I just can't seem to hit the target.)

Edit: I wrote that after probably 30 tries. Then I went back and got it on my second try after writing it.

So: Star on every level. Beat that!

Doesn't quite fit this category, but it will waste your time nicely.
NPR did a poll to establish the top 100 SF and Fantasy books. This chart directs you to find one that may suit you...

Zag · Tired of his old title

I went all the way through this, though the last few levels were an exercise in patience. Up until around level 19, however, I thought it was clever, with quite a few new twists along the way. http://armorgames.com/play/12383/canary

One tip, if you're on a level where it seems that there is a section that is impossible to get through without taking damage, then you're missing something. There are quite a few where, with speed and good reactions you can get through a big mess taking only one hit, but they all have a more clever approach that you could make in which you take none.
